The Transhumanist movement is mostly populated with two kinds of men: those who can't wait for their eternally compliant substitute for a real relationship, and those who can't wait for their intellectual and physical superiors to wipe them off the face of the universe.

So what about me then?

As a transhumanist, I can only hope for a day when I can bask in the experience of my intellectual and physical superiors. I also yearn for an eternity of time to connect with those who are near and dear to me, and those who can be near and dear to me in the future, for future untold yet to come.

Why would those who are superior to me wish my extinction and why would I wish my own doom? We are getting better, stronger, faster, smarter and one can assume also that we will gain further understanding of those lesser than we are. If we don't now(generally as a rule, there are exceptions) beat and bully those who are less than we are, why would those who are greater do so?

I love the future. I want to experience the future. I dream of a future that is about as close to the Pendorian ideal as you have espoused and believe that is we grow smart, strong, wise and good enough we can get there...

though maybe with out all the BDSm furry stuff...

and that would be the sad part.

Um, opened a newspaper recently?

You seem to have overlooked the lurkers; folks like me, or Ken MacLeod. (Sceptical but fascinated.)

It was a bit of a snark; I've been dealing with one of each in private conversations recently, and I had Finally Had Enough.

I feel your snark; it is accurate.

Where can I find this movement? And you mean to tell me there are no babes there? :)
